This is an epic novel. You need a tissue to read this book.
/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, France and Napoleon were gone. People live. There was a bishop from Fulai, who was charitable. Although he is seventy years old, he is still optimistic and kind. He is an angel who came to earth.
Fantine:
Jean Wall Jean is a criminal in his fifties. He robbed a bakery in order to find food for his sister's seven children. After his arrest, he tried to escape again and again, but he was released from prison after 19 years. Never saw his sister and her children again. There are no more relatives in the world. After he got out of prison, because he was a convict, no one dared to take him in. He always thought he was worse than a dog.
A kind lady asked him to knock on the bishop's door, so he went. To his great surprise, the bishop received him and respected him very much.
But at night, everyone in the room fell asleep, but what I miss is the expensive silver tableware. Because he has been in prison for too long, he has no feelings and no love. He hates society wholeheartedly and only wants revenge. So he stole the tableware and ran away.
When the tableware was found stolen, Bishop Foley did not call the police, but told his family not to say anything. But the police soon came to us, and the convict was quickly arrested with such valuable things. Let a heart-centered church expose him and make him work hard for many years, but he is wrong. The bishop told the police that he had given the silver to Jean and solemnly told him to be a good man. This is the soul he redeemed from God (the reincarnation of a saint).
Stumbling away, inadvertently encroaching on another child's money. This made his conscience unbearable. He cried. He hasn't cried for nearly twenty years. On that day, he knelt at the door of the bishop, and no one knew where he had gone.
Fantine, a beautiful and lovely girl. Unfortunately, I met a college student who was playing and taking part in accidental amusement. She is wishful thinking, the bastards are gone, but she is going to give birth to an illegitimate daughter.
But it is always inconvenient to take children to work, so he thought of entrusting them to a family. When it comes to this family, I can't help getting angry. The couple are so bad that Tanadiers' intestines are black. Poor Cosette was punched, kicked and bossed around by them at such a young age. Fantine, on the other hand, was coaxed and asked for money again and again, which drove Fantine to a desperate situation (be brief here, otherwise it would be too indignant! )。
Fantine returned to her hometown, but her hometown gradually changed because of the arrival of a person. No one knows where this Madeleine came from, but he is charitable and likes to be brave. Some people envy him, others respect him.
Javert, a spy of humble origin. Not bad in nature, but accustomed to ruthlessness, he always doubted Mr. Madeleine's identity, thinking that he was so like a legendary convict, especially after he actually lifted the carriage and rescued old Fauchelevent (that was his name). By the way, all the policemen in this book were played by Javert.
Fantine came to work in Mr. Madeleine's factory, but because of the exposure of gossip, rumors about her illegitimate daughter gradually spread, and Mr. Madeleine had to dismiss her for moral reasons.
Fantine, who lost her job, had no financial resources, and Tanadil was pressing hard. She sold her hair and teeth and finally became a prostitute (abuse ~ ~ ~ ~).
Fantine was arrested for teasing and insulting the upper class by a "gentleman". She begged Javert, but she couldn't touch the heart of this Woodenhead. But the mayor heard her cry and understood her unfortunate situation. So he stepped forward to let her go and let her be taken care of.
However, after a long period of physical and mental torture, Fantine was terminally ill even though she was only 25 years old, and there was not much time left for her. She only wanted to see Cosette, but the inhuman couple regarded Cosette as a cash cow and refused to let her go. M. Madeleine had to go there himself, but then another important thing happened.
Javert came and asked the mayor to punish him. Javert always thought that the mayor was a convict, but not long ago, someone found Joan who had escaped. There is no doubt that the mayor was not, so he came to offer a humble apology. The innocent man will soon be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Madeleine's heart was greatly shaken and tangled. He didn't want to implicate innocent people, but if he admitted that he was the convict, not only would he lose everything, but Fantine finally decided to surrender after a night of torture.
On the way, the carriage broke down and he seemed relieved. But fate will not let him go. The other carriage was still there, and he arrived as scheduled. The judge released the innocent people, but Mr. Madeleine is still a criminal. When he came back, he tried to appease Fantine, at least hoping that Javert would give him a few days to bring Cosette back, but Javert was indifferent. Fantine couldn't stand such a blow and died unsatisfied.
Later, Joan escaped from prison, hid his property and buried Fantine. The poor woman ended her life like this.
Cosette:
At the beginning, Hugo described the historical background, specific process and consequences of the Battle of Waterloo in detail with exquisite and magnificent brushstrokes, so we will skip it.
The only thing that has anything to do with the plot is the following scene. After the battle, a man (Tynardier) went to the battlefield to steal the property of the deceased. A general thinks that this is the savior who knows him. This general is called Pommesi.
Let's get arrested again and be slaves on the ship. One day, a slave was trapped on the mast, and he risked his life to save him. He accidentally fell into the sea and everyone thought he was dead. ...
Not far from Paris, Thenard Di runs a hotel. He has two daughters, Cosette, who is 75 years old, and a son who is a few years old (we will see him again later). Cosette lives in fear every day, which is simply terrible.
It was Christmas and Cosette was fascinated by a beautiful doll. Cosette went to fetch water, because there was no water in the hotel and no one on the road. She was very scared. The bucket was so heavy that she could hardly lift it. At this time, a pair of strong hands helped her lift the burden (angel arrival).
That is an old man who looks about fifty years old, but he is very powerful. He is a poor man on the surface, but in fact he is rich, helping Cosette out of trouble and giving her the doll she dreams of. Dinadil knew that he could use Cosette to blackmail him.
1500 francs, they think it is still too little. Finally, Thenardier caught up with them and said that Cosette was her mother's, and this gentleman could not take it away, but the old man took out a note written by Fantine herself (wow Kaka). Turner Deere wants to trace it again, and the powerful gentleman has pulled out a big stick, hehe.
When I returned to Paris, I regarded Cosette as my daughter. Cosette regarded the old man as her father and felt safe and happy for the first time. In fact, after so many years of hard work, I sometimes feel disheartened. Cosette's appearance actually saved him.
I found a quiet place and settled down. Unfortunately, there is no windtight wall in the world. One day when giving alms to beggars, I suddenly felt that this man looked like Javert. Is it good or not? Take Cosette and fly away.
If Javert is really a ghost, it's like smoke. You can't hide. A small team was organized to round up the immortal prisoner. How can I escape from life in the alley at night?
Over the wall, after the past, the future is bright (Hugo has described the historical background, clean life and consequences of the monastery in detail here), and the staff of the monastery have been rewarded with charity. Jean finally found a place to live, and Cosette was saved. However, the next question is still more troublesome. You can make up an identity, but the convict must go out before he can come in. It happened that a mother in the monastery died.
Only when the living are put into the coffin of the dead can they come in as living people. Originally, everything was arranged, but who thought that the acquaintance he knew died and a new grave digger was replaced? The criminal hardly suffocated (of course not). So the father and the daughter had a proper identity and settled down in the monastery, because Javert was still flustered outside.
Marius:
There are many street children in Paris, and there is such a child named Gavroche. Although he looks like a hooligan, he is actually not bad. Regardless of his parents, he can only go to the wandering society, but he still goes back to see his parents every once in a while.
Rong De Wright lived in a shabby house, full of poor people, and a young lawyer named Marius. His grandfather didn't like Napoleon and the revolution, so he didn't like his son-in-law Pontmercy.
For the sake of his son's inheritance, Pomesi never met Marius until his death. Marius had no feelings for him. But when he learned that his father loved him deeply and gained a new understanding of the revolution, Marius broke up with his grandfather and moved out of home.
Father had left, but he told Marius that a man named Tanadil had saved him (apparently stole him) on the battlefield of Waterloo. Marius wanted to repay his kindness, but he learned that the hotel opened by Thenard Dieu had closed down.
Marius used to live a pampered life, but now he has to make a living by his own hands. The difficulty can be imagined. He is very poor. But after all, he is a kind and upright young man, which is naturally excellent for his character.
Sometimes when he goes for a walk in the park, he will see a father and daughter. The father is very old, and the girl is only sixteen or seventeen. At first, he had no feelings for the girl, but later he had feelings. What is the identity of this mysterious father and daughter? No one knows, the autumn leaves have fallen, and I secretly promised. Unfortunately, Marius learned that they had moved away. ...
Next door to Marius, there lived a poor Rong De Wright family, whose parents and two daughters were all abused by poverty (retribution ~ ~ ~).
The girl's father, whom Marius called Mr. White Hair, likes charity. It shows that family members disguise themselves in various identities to get his help. It happened that Marius lived in a house where he could peep at the next door. On that day, Mr. White-haired led his daughter to visit, and Marius was really happy.
Rong De Wright's eldest daughter is called Sykes Bonina. She likes Marius, so she is willing to find the address of her rival in love. However, after Mr. White-haired left, Marius heard a thrilling story: Rong De Wright recognized Mr. White-haired, and the woman was extremely dissatisfied with this fashionable girl. They set a trap for Mr. White Hair to come and never come back.
What to do! ? Call the police, so Marius came to the police station. The detective carefully and patiently questioned and recorded Marius' guard and told him to shoot if he thought the time was wrong. The police are here. If Marius comes to see him, go to Javert (I want to vomit blood ...).
Back to the broken house, nervous. Mr. White-haired came and was soon trapped by them. This time, Rong De Wright said, can you still recognize me? I'm Thenard Dee! I don't think Marius is less shocked than Mr. White-haired.
What should he do, bury his lover's father or sacrifice his benefactor? This made him very entangled. No signal. Although Mr. White-haired was brave, after all, he was hard to beat four hands with two fists and was soon subdued. Under their coercion, he wrote a letter to his daughter because he had no money.
Marius thought that if his sweetheart was attacked by these gangsters ... unfortunately, all the addresses in the letter were false. Mr. White-haired is a magical man, delaying time to untie his shackles. And in order to show that he would never let anyone hurt his daughter, he put a red-hot soldering iron on himself (very painful ... 55). The gang tried to kill him. Marius used his quick wits to pretend to be Eponina and motioned for them that the police were coming, so a group of people tried to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late, and Javert stood at the door with a smile (I want to praise Javert for his appearance this time).
Then I arrested them all, and Mr. White Hair took advantage of the chaos to escape (not bad).
Gavroche came to see his parents and sisters again, but this time he learned that they had all been arrested and imprisoned.
Pastoral of Plume and Epic of Saint Denis Street;
At the beginning of this film, Hugo greatly restored the background of the times with exquisite brushwork, and the storm is coming, and the revolution is about to break out.
For various reasons, the Tenadiers were quickly released. Marius left the shabby house, hoping to start a new life, but his thoughts about girls always tormented him.
But Eponina came back soon and told him Cosette's address.
Time to go back. Cosette and I lived in a monastery for five years, and felt that Cosette could not become a nun without understanding the ups and downs of the world, so Cosette and I left there and found another quiet place to settle down.
Cosette grew up little by little and lived a quiet and happy life. But Cosette became more and more beautiful after all. It makes me feel worse and worse, because he has no relatives in the world, Cosette is everything to him, and he doesn't want other men to take her away. This is why he was jealous of Marius.
After meeting Tynardier, he was ill for a long time. This is when Cosette and Marius parted. ...
Marius knew Cosette's address and sneaked into their back garden. There is a fiery heart buried under the stone. Sealed with a kiss, heart to heart. No one knows all this. Marius went back to his grandfather and asked him to marry him, but his grandfather refused him and insulted Cosette contemptuously. Marius left angrily, as if this kind of plot was often seen in TV dramas.
Gavroche rescued his two younger brothers one day (although neither of them knew about this relationship), rescued his father from prison that day, and then went to participate in the uprising.
The following is the historical background, detailed description and significance of slang.
Then there are various preparations, barricade defense. There were casualties on both sides, when the rebels caught a government spy (not to mention who he was).
But Eponina didn't want to fulfill Marius and Cosette, so she pretended to be an unexpected guest and disturbed Cosette in the middle of the night. I felt that someone must be chasing them again, so I quickly moved with Cosette and planned to take Cosette across the ocean to England. Cosette had no time to tell Marius all this, and the letter was intercepted by Eponina.
Desperate Marius also took part in the uprising. Eponina, who was determined to die with her sweetheart, took a bullet for Marius and took him into the encirclement of government forces. Before she died, she didn't want Jeanmarie to hate her, so she took out the letter (well, I don't hate you at this time, although you always bullied Cosette when you were a child).
Marius wrote a letter to Cosette because he knew Gavroche was the son of a benefactor and didn't want him to die here. Just let him deliver the letter. Of course, this letter is for Joan. Let the performance at this time be really like Yusuf in The Smiling Man. First, he was ecstatic (the thief was dying), then he was lost in thought and finally went out.
Jean Wall let:
Really, the protagonist has to give a name in the last movie. ...
Defend the barricade, and then in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifice, decided to let five people go back, but only four sets of clothes. What should I do? At the critical moment, the fifth suit fell from the sky.
When Mr. White-haired suddenly appeared, Marius was taken aback, but he didn't have much time to think. The fierce fighting left them no time to breathe (wonderful ing~ here). Many people died. Gavroche died heroically while picking up bullets (you are much better than your parents ...).
Javert is going to be executed. Mr. White-haired asked him to do so, so he took Javert away and let him go quietly. Javert was dumbfounded.
After the ammunition ran out, only hand-to-hand combat was left. Marius was in a coma. Everyone else, except Marius, died in battle or was shot (hero ...).
Marius was in a coma, and Mr. White-haired carried him on his back. Because there were government troops all around, he had to go out through the sewer. .
Here Hugo continues to talk about the historical background and significance of sewers.
Dark sewers, heavy losses, countless traps. Mr. White-haired finally came and reached the exit, but he met Thenard Di. Thenard Di thought he was a murderer, so he took their money and tore off Marius' bloody clothes as evidence (for future extortion).
Finally escaped, but Javert was still waiting for them. Joan gave his address, and he might be arrested, but he asked Javert to give him some time to send Marius back to his grandfather's house. Javert did not refuse this time.
Then he wanted to go home, and Javert didn't refuse. I didn't even go upstairs with him (I was not afraid of his escape), but when I went upstairs alone, I found Javert had quietly left.
What if everything you once insisted on suddenly wavered? Javert is such a miserable man. Either arrest Joan or let him go, so the blame should be borne by himself. Finally, write down the prison for the government, and the Seine accepted him (ah ...).
Marius was in a coma and ill for many days. This made grandpa feel bad and never opposed his marriage again. Love is no longer an obstacle. When discussing marriage, Mr. White-haired said that Cosette had a huge legacy (in fact, it was his own money ...).
Marius went from hell to heaven. The only regret is that he has never found a benefactor to save himself. All this made Mr. White Hair keep silent.
A grand wedding is coming. On this day, I left alone and came home, crying very sadly (paper towel ... paper towel ... I cried with you).
In order not to completely hinder Cosette's happiness, let this decision completely leave their lives. So he told Marius that he was a convict, not Cosette's biological father. Marius was surprised. His aristocratic background kept him from thinking about these complications, so he became more and more indifferent to Jean (ungrateful guy). Because Marius thought he had shot Javert.
Joan, who lost Cosette, soon grew old. He is almost eighty years old, and depression has become a disease, and he is getting sick gradually. After all, young people have their own lives, and Marius is nervous about the huge legacy.
At the wedding, Tynardier and his gang took aim at them again. Cosette is a baroness now, so he wants to use Jean de's status as a convict to extort some money. However, he didn't expect Marius to know that he was a convict. In order to prove the value of his information, Thenard Dieu took out a newspaper many years ago (with Jean Madeleine written on it) and Javert's proof of throwing himself into the river (I don't think this paragraph is reasonable ...). Marius and his friends were shocked. Most importantly, Tynardier took out his bloody clothes (does Marius want to vomit blood? )。
Although Thenard Dieyer is so evil and despicable (too many words are available), Marius gives him a lot of money because he is a so-called "benefactor". The bad guys have not been punished. With this money, he went to the United States to continue to do evil-to become a slave trader.
Then Marius quickly took Cosette to visit the old man, making him feel that he could not wait for that day. But he waited. The young man tried to comfort the old man, but it was too late. "It's best for you that I leave." It is not lonely to be near death. Bishop Foley looks at him from the sky (55).
Then there is a long paragraph ... memories, telling them that Thenard Diehl should forgive (I don't forgive). And Fantine, Cosette must remember her (tears here ... paper towels ...). Then the angel left them forever.
In the secluded corner of the cemetery, there is only a slate without a name.
I want to cry for a while first ... Let's go together. ...
The road to doing good is far more difficult than the road to doing evil. Although I have great ability and a lot of wealth, I can't get rid of the convict's past anyway and haunt him like a nightmare. So what if Javert dies? The cold law won't let him go, so he finally chose to leave, although it was a happy ending. ...
I often get angry when I look in front. However, how can there be such non-human beings as Thenard Tijen? Besides, Javert, who had a heart of stone, was finally moved. The man is still stubborn and continues to do evil. Are some people born evil?
I think Javert is the hardest person to say. Is he a good man or not? Or a bad guy? According to this book, he is the embodiment of all evil in a good man. Javert is not bad in nature, but he is a legal machine, not a human being, and cannot understand the feelings of the world. But at last he understood.
The plot is still very beautiful, and the characters are always inextricably linked. The highlight is barricade defense. I just don't often insert some social and historical descriptions, so I often skip them, hehe.
Although the title is Les Miserables, I think this book is still warm, and one can light up this miserable world with his own love. As the book says-after darkness is day.
